Below is a story from the November 27th edition of the Salem News. Adam Fitch, TR Ramsdell and of course our favorite race Director Doug Bollen were all quoted!
Wild Turkey Road Race has grown into a local tradition
By Chris Cassidy
STAFF WRITER
SALEM — Thanksgiving isn’t just a day for turkey and football and falling asleep on the couch anymore.
Nearly 1,300 runners began Turkey Day yesterday with a 5-mile jaunt through downtown Salem in the annual Wild Turkey Road Race.
When race director Doug Bollen started the event five years ago, about 300 runners showed up. Since then, it’s grown so quickly that Bollen plans to change the course next year and find a bigger pre- and post-race venue to accommodate the swelling field of runners.
“We’re not a small race anymore,” said Bollen. “… The reputation has gotten out that it’s a good race.”
Thanksgiving is the single-largest running day in America with “turkey trots” all over the country, including the Feaster Five in Andover that draws about 7,000 runners and walkers.
Bollen noticed the closest Thanksgiving races on the North Shore were in Newburyport and Andover and figured a race in Salem might save runners a long drive.
The race has drawn hundreds of mostly North Shore runners and their out-of-town family members. Yesterday’s record-breaking field came from about 20 states, Canada and even Italy, Bollen said.
“Running is getting really big around here,” said Adam Fitch of Salem, a member of the city’s Wicked Running Club, who finished yesterday in a time of 45:42.

Labor Day featured a couple of great races, and the Irish American 5K/10K was at the top of that list. The Chicks (Doug and Danny that is) represented Wicked in the Irish American 5K. Oh and they represented well. Doug Chick cruised to a first place victory winning the race in 17:00. While Danny Chick took care of business in the 50-59 age group with a 1st place performance and a time of 18:42. Great job guys!

While Saturday might have been a washout in Massachusetts, conditions were just right for James DeLuca to crush the Madison Mini Marathon course with a PR of 1:23:21. James posting on Facebook had this to say about his race performance; “Probably would have had more of a kick at the end if I hadn’t done the first 10 miles at 3sec/mile faster than my 5 mile PR pace..” Great job James!
Closer to home, a pack of Wicked Runners headed up to Lowell to take part in the 7th Annual Marcia Lemkin 5K. The race benefits lung cancer research, treatment, and prevention programs at Brigham And Women’s Hospital. For more information please check out the Marcia Lemkin Lung Cancer Foundation website.

Ramsdell picked up a PR with a 20:23 and Deb Touchette picked up a nice 1st place win in the 50-59 age group with a 23:01! Great job to everyone who raced!! Go Wicked!
